Do Coin Shops Pay Less For Proof Coins?

Follows along with what my dealer says. Tells me when I buy silver rounds when I bring it back in to sell, he will give me the same price for a silver coin as he will silver bullion. He will only pay more for a rare silver/gold dollar. I've tried and walked out with my coins. He says sell on ebay if I want more than a silver price. He says the same thing on gold. On the other hand, he sure has some nice coins with high prices.

The video makes the point that these are effectively bullion coins, so generally speaking, spot price is correct. That said, there can be a premium if the piece is a rare date (are there any in these series?) and/or they are graded 70 (and even then, there may not be a premium if there are a lot of those). In those cases, I believe dealers are still likely to consider them bullion and they would pay bullion prices -- the premiums would be found from other collectors, and those would be on ebay or similar sites.

I have one of each (though my eagle is a 1/4 ounce, which is far more affordable) for "type" purposes. If you want one, go for it. But respect the concept of "spot" and if you go the graded/premium route, understand it will be trickier to get your premium back.
